Generating Priorities in Eating Disorder Research & Service Provision: Recommendations from Young Adults and their Patients/Caregivers

Wendy Preskow, Founder (NIED)

Dr. Gina Dimitropoulos and Dr. Jennifer Couturier served as co-Principal Investigators for this project, leading their research team through participant recruitment, data collection, analysis, interpretation, and the development of final reports and publications.

This research project aimed to identify the most important areas for future research on eating disorders (EDs), based on the perspectives of young adults aged 18–29 with lived experience and their parents/caregivers. By directly involving those most affected, the study focused on understanding their priorities and recommendations to help shape future research, funding, and support efforts in the field of eating disorders.
